Cambodia To-do:


I just saw that 146.115.115.243 messed up the page so badly it was FUBAR, and also changed "Ongcor" into "Angkor Watt" -- thereby modifying what was supposed to be a direct quote from Henri Mouhot's own writings, and mixing up Angkor from Angkor Watt - 2 very different things! == BAD MOVE!! ==

Please refrain from modifyng this article if you don't know what you're doing.

Thanks for your added information and correction of the stupid Eurocentric formulation, 212.247.27.124! I've removed this passage, though:

"While Henri is historically credited with "discovering" Angkor (as Columbus is with "discovering" America), local Cambodians had always known about the existence and location of Ankor -- it was never lost to them."

It's a good point, but this talk page is the place for it, not the article itself. Bishonen | talk 23:17, 31 August 2005 (UTC)


OK, thanks. I've updated it some more, to reinsert what I consider to be very important information´relevant to Henri Mouhot, but hopefully this time it comes across as more detached and less argumentative.
